Implicit curricula - the method of my teaching has become more and more "what are the students doing" rather than what I am doing, as in our example today.

My Father's Dragon is a children's novel by Ruth Stiles Gannett, with illustrations by her stepmother Ruth Chrisman Gannett.

The novel is about a young boy, Elmer Elevator, who runs away to Wild Island to rescue a baby dragon. Both a Newbery Honor Book and an ALA Notable Book, it is the first book of a trilogy whose other titles are Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland. All three were published in a 50-year anniversary edition as Three Tales of My Father's Dragon. In 1997, it was made into an anime film titled, Elmer's Adventure: My Father's Dragon, while the character Boris the Dragon was produced into a Plush toy designed by Sunflower Publishing Company and released in the fall of the same year. Netflix will also release a film adaptation in 2021.

The narrative mode is unusual in that the narrator refers to the protagonist only as "my father", giving the impression that this is a true story that happened long ago. The other two books in the trilogy are narrated in the third person.

The illustrations are by Ruth Chrisman Gannett and hand-drawn in black and white with a grease crayon on grained paper. Gannett also illustrated a number of other children's and adult books, including Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck.

The book is in the public domain, as its copyright was not renewed after 28 years.

A boy named Elmer finds a cat in the street. The cat tells him about Wild Island. Elmer goes there. He escapes on a ship, disguising as wheat but later being mistaken as dried corn on the cob. Once Elmer's there, he faces challenges, including seven tigers, two wild boars, a rhinoceros and a gorilla. At last, he has to walk across seventeen crocidiles to find the dragon.

My Father's Dragon was one runner-up for the 1949 Newbery Medal, by which the American Library Association annually recognizes the year's best American children's book. It was also nominated for the Ambassador Book Award in 1948.

Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed it as one of "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children". In 2012 it was ranked number 49 among all-time children's novels in a survey published by School Library Journal.

In 1997, the book was made into a Japanese anime film titled, Elmer's Adventure: My Father's Dragon. It starred Yu-ki as Elmer Elevator and Megumi Hayashibara as Boris the dragon.

In 2011, the book was adapted into an American children's stage musical by Travis Tagart.

In 2018, Netflix announced that the book will be adapted into an animated feature film of the same name by Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon for a 2021 release. Nora Twomey was announced as the director with Meg LeFauve as the film's screenwriter.

A public domain online edition of My Father's Dragon, a 1949 Newbery Honor Book, is available at A Celebration of Women Writers.

Realities are complex, even paradoxical.  The work of others, like all science and knowledge is being built, and is a process, and is important for you to know.  Your own contribution, however, is based on your knowledge and intuition. What you bring to the field can improve the field, but only if you take risks.  It is actually our job to teach critical thought, reflection, and innovation, we must also model these qualities.  Take the best, as the example, point out the issues.

Buddy Wanzer was one of several mentors I had during my days at NMSU in the 80s. He was cranky, irascible, and never kept his opinions to himself. I can still remember hearing him complaining about the idiots in charge in his thick Bronx accent as he held court at the Rustler snack bar. After I became a film, TV, and radio major told him I was interested in film animation. He encouraged me to pursue it as much as I could. Without being asked, he built a homemade animation stand for me in one...

It is the sole explicit mechanism of continuity and improvement in society, but it is not a machine, and it is not a business; it is a relationship with variable individuals.  This makes "Research Based" problematic, since science requires controlled variables.

You cannot fully teach wellness if you cannot be an example of someone pursuing wellness.
This is not a static thing, like learning, it is lifelong, and learning is a part of wellness.  Be as balanced as you can, and sometimes that is your juggling average.  Be good to yourself, you are a child of the Universe, too.
